  • Thank you Vince!! Showing how the violet glaze helped unite the layers is exactly the piece I was missing in my hobby. I totally get layering, albeit I’m not that great-but working on it. However, I wasn’t getting a uniform look at the end. My layers looked like camouflage! Seeing and hearing your explanation of bringing those colors together was exactly what i needed to understand that unity. Thanks again for your content!

Your video's are really amazing for learning the basics, especially the longer explanations on layering, dry brushing etc. I feel very encouraged to go and try more techniques. I'm hoping to try some wet blending soon as well. Anyways, thanks so much for making these! Greeting from the Netherlands.

  • Vince, this is great! I liked what you did with the format. Talking head intro --> demonstration --> talking head --> demonstration --> talking head outro Breaking the tutorial up like that made it feel more engaging to watch in my opinion. I also appreciate the subtle zoom in/out throughout the clips. It's nothing overly obnoxious, but it's a nice improvement from your older format which were a bit more rigid. I respect your goal that you talked about in the new year video, this is a great direction you're taking the channel in. I've always considered your Hobby Cheating content to be top-tier in terms of quality information and explanation of concepts/techniques. However, other channels have an advantage in video style. I'm sure many viewers would consider a LukesAPS or Squidmar video more *entertaining* and *engaging* overall, but usually lesser in knowledge gained, compared to yours. I've found they mainly excel in: 1) Storytelling/video narrative 2) Presentation [cinematography, alternate camera angles, lighting, talking head, editing, etc] 3) Trending topics [Challenges, new sponsored products, etc] 4) Other [Skits, collabs, non-hobby vlogs, inviting thumbnails, etc] It's like they'll have a technique they want to cover, say, oil washes. > "[Intro skit] I've always been dissatisfied with GW washes, if only there was a way to erase the wash... That's when I discovered oils. [Talking head] bla bla... [Interspersed demonstration]... [24hour 6000points crayon-only challenge]...etc etc" Of course, I don't want you to become another Squidmar(no offence to the lad), I love what YOU do. I love that you have a recognisable thumbnail style. I love that your video titles are easy to find if I want to find the technique later. I love your knowledge of the hobby and teaching style. To conclude, you're a titan in the hobby youtube sphere in my mind. I like the direction you're going in with regard to production quality/ format adjustments. I hope these improvements help the channel reach a larger audience (who are missing out!). Don't stress too much about revamping every aspect of your videos too quickly. Hopefully over time you can automate or routinize into this more dynamic format direction. Thanks for everything that you do Vince, keep it up!

  • You recently asked for ideas so i have a couple more for you: 1) difference between acryllic paint types: gw dry/layer/shade/glaze paints; what is inks and how are they different; what is heavy-body acryllics (for example in my country there is no such thing, but perhaps it is just called differently and if you explained what it is I could find it); what about painter/canvas focused acryllic paints, can you use those effectively? Whats the difference between all those types? Can you take one and make the other by just mixing additives like water, medium or flow improver? 2) difference and use of different additives. For example, whats the difference between thinning paint with water or acryllic medium? What are gw lhamian and glaze mediums, and can you substitute them with other additives? I think that you have most of that info (especially 2nd idea, i know you have a video covering mediums and retardants) but it would be nice to see it re-visited and centralized in a single video. You already have most of these products if not all of them, and it would be cool to see a demonstration of the differences between paints and inks, or thinning with water or medium, and explanations of when one is better and by how much.

  • Im still new to the hobby. My layering is awful mainly because i still havent gotten to grips with nailing the paint consistency. Whenever i have tried to add layers with a subtle transition, the brush strokes stand out like a sore thumb, i dont have anybody nearby who i could speak to about improving this so other than yours and other great youtube painters providing videos like this, i have been running solo. To the point where my miniatures are taking several days to finish one because its a constant battle of 2 steps forwards 1.5 steps back. Im glad i paint because i enjoy it, because it will likely take me well into my 40s before i had an army ready to play with.

    • My challenge to you would be to paint within a set time limit. Force yourself to paint a mini in 2 hours or 4 hours or something similar. FOrce yourself to work fast on something. Working that speed muscle can be great practice to gain confidence and work on building your brush control. BUt either way, don't worry, it's going to happen with time.

  • Great tips here Vince! use to make that mistake about reducing the layer all the time, either too much (looks like a bad edge highlight) or too little (no transition). Jose Da Vinci has a good rule of thumb with reducing layers to 70% of the previous layer, and then a glaze of that colour between the layers to join them. Found it was a fast way to get quick smooth layers

  • Great video, Vince. You probably also know this, but just in case - another part of the reason that water-based acrylics tend to get slightly darker, duller, and more translucent as they dry is that the acrylic binder has a milky white appearance when suspended in the water in the paint (think gloss varnish or Lahmian Medium). It becomes clear as the water evaporates and the binder links up and cures. So the colour of the wet paint is slightly lighter and more opaque than it will be when it dries.

  • Hi Vince! Absolutely love your videos! You are so good at this. One question please, why didn’t you zenithal coat this mini before starting? And then follow up with wash and dry brush (preparing for your best paint job)? Just curious. Thank you!!

    @mrmalstryfe8818@mrmalstryfe8818Ай бұрын
    • I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, not everone might zenithal or take all those steps, so I really wanted to focus on the simple. Also, these are largely in NMM, so they don't get zenithaled because it's the incorrect lighting scheme.

      @VinceVenturella@VinceVenturellaАй бұрын
  • Terrific video Vince. Super helpful information as always. I was wondering if a zenithal highlight before starting with the basecoat could be helpful in any way or that's only really meaningful in combination with very thin paints (aka contrasts) as basecoat? Thank you! Also I noticed you don't use shades after your first basecoat and I would like to understand the reasoning, is it because you're starting from a dark layer which basically acts as your shade?

    @andrewstark1320@andrewstark13205 ай бұрын
    • Yep, you could certainly do a zenithal first and it will help, because it will minimize the need to layer to get to the true color.

  • Great video Vince! I have a question regarding this technique. On your amazing example in this video (or on great painters like Sergio Calvo or Angel Giraldez) it feels that it's the best technique to achieve great realism and contrast...but its' always applied on black primer, to get that nice full black to white range. But as you are a big advocate of cenital priming, it's surprising to see you use it like that too. When i see your other videos and paintjobs, or guys like Marco Frisoni, i see that it's possible to achieve top tier paintjobs with cenitalk priming too. So basically i see those two painting styles. Black priming, deliberate layering, to slowly achieve the best possible result... or the use of cenital priming with other techniques, like oil washes/black lining to get that contrast back. This feels more fun, quicker, but at the same time i feel that i have less control and no matter the time i spent, i'll never be able to achieve the best of the best results that i could get with layering over black primer. What are your thoughts on this? Is just me seeing this two completely different approachs for different goals? Or is there any way to reconcile these methods?

    @-Gaudi@-Gaudi2 жыл бұрын
    • Both have strengths and weaknesses, the key is the light, what you are trying to accomplish. In this case, the armor has a light pattern that a zenithal won't support, so I'm working over black. You can create the highest quality product out of either, but one might support your goals better.

    • So here is my honest answer, don't do it. :) - It's a very difficult effect to sell, Wet things, especially cloth, are darker and have a shine. This is difficult to accomplish when you are just starting out as it also relies on placing everything in the right place. If you're feeling like you still want to try it, then you need an organic creeping area of wetness with a soak line in the cloak (the difference between the wet bottom and the dry top), then you need to satin varnish the "wet" area to do the reflection (the proper way would be to place the highlight, but that is going to be near impossible if newer).

    • Sadly, with layers alone, there is not a way to get it completely smooth, acrylic paint is made for durability and quick drying, not blending. So there is always going to be glazing and other items at the end to get things completely smooth. So the playlists have lots of videos about these techiques and understanding them as you move along.

I get why you chose purple (split compliment) for some hue “pop” and it looks Awesome!! So my question is, would an overall purple shade (over all the skin) ruin this effect instead of a glaze used in certain spots?
